Why does our ISP have to register it?  Maybe I'm unclear as to how JPNIC
works - in the USA, anyone can register a domain and then have it hosted
by any ISP they want to... 

Anyway, how do we have our ISP do that?  Cliff's out of town til the 6th,
so we'd have to wait til he gets back before we can actually do it.  We
can get the server set up over here at any time, though, if we can track
down a system to run it on.  The main limiting factor now is disk space -
we'll want at least 1 gig, I would think, hopefully more.

Second question - will the TLUG server be handling its own name service
for the domain, or will I be doing DNS for it from PHT's nameserver?
